Abstract
Chin augmentation can dramatically transform a patient's appearance. Various techniques are in use, each with their specific problems and limitations. We present the first case report from the Indian subcontinent using a custom 3D-printed, bioresorbable polycaprolactone implant. We demonstrate, by appropriate imaging, the replacement of the implant at long-term (22 months) follow-up by patient's own autologous bone formation. An excellent aesthetic result was achieved. Relevant points of technique, as well as pertinent properties of the material, are discussed. This material has been used in neurosurgery and in the management of orbital fractures. Yet, worldwide, very few (3-4) cases of chin implant have been done using this material. We believe this to be a useful and sustainable material, offering several advantages, as set out in the case report.
隆下巴可以显著改变患者的外观。目前使用的技术多种多样，每种技术都有其特定的问题和局限性。我们介绍了印度次大陆首例使用定制 3D 打印、生物可吸收聚己内酯植入物的病例报告。通过适当的成像，我们展示了在长期（22 个月）的随访中，患者自身形成的自体骨替代了种植体。手术取得了极佳的美学效果。文中讨论了相关技术要点以及材料的相关特性。这种材料已被用于神经外科和眼眶骨折的治疗。然而，在世界范围内，使用这种材料植入下巴的病例却寥寥无几（3-4 例）。我们认为这是一种有用且可持续的材料，具有多种优点，这一点已在病例报告中列出。
